Background: Lobectomy is a standard surgical method in the treatment of early stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program aims to reduce the postoperative length of hospital stay (PLOS) in major surgeries. This study evaluated the impact of the ERAS program on PLOS and identified related factors in patients undergoing lobectomy for NSCLC.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from February 2022 to December 2023. We included patients diagnosed with NSCLC scheduled for lobectomy. The ERAS protocol was applied according to guidelines from the ERAS Society and the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine. We collected data on patient demographics, surgical details, adherence to the ERAS protocol, and postoperative outcomes, including the PLOS.
Results: Among the 98 patients enrolled, the median PLOS after ERAS intervention was 4.1 days (interquartile range: 3.7 to 5.2 days). Adherence to ERAS protocols significantly correlated with reduced PLOS (p<0.001). Notably, smoking status was identified as a related factor of PLOS (p=0.002). Complications (p<0.001), surgical method (p=0.007), operation time (p<0.001), duration of postanesthesia care unit (p=0.006), duration of thoracic drainage (p<0.001), and urinary catheter retention time (p=0.023) were also associated with PLOS variations.
Conclusion: Implementing the ERAS program in patients undergoing lobectomy for NSCLC at our center reduced PLOS and highlighted the importance of protocol adherence for optimizing surgical outcomes. These findings supported the broader adoption of ERAS protocols in thoracic surgery to enhance patient recovery. Future research should focus on multi-center studies to generalize these results and further dissect the impact of individual ERAS components.

Objective: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) clinical pathways have demonstrated improved perioperative outcomes after major surgery. However, its adoption within vascular surgery has been limited. In this study, we examined the impact of an ERAS protocol with multimodal anesthesia on open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair by comparing early outcomes before and after its implementation.

Objectives: A core outcome set (COS) giving indicators of the quality of the process for minimally invasive valve surgery embedded into Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols should be developed.
Methods: Using web-based questionnaires, a Delphi process with three rounds was conducted from January to December 2022. Prior to the rounds, a systematic database search was performed identifying potential quality parameters.
Introduction: Despite progress in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in medical education, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual, and more (LGBTQIA+) individuals remain underrepresented and often face barriers to equitable advancement. Emergency medicine (EM) residency programs are instrumental in creating inclusive environments that attract diverse applicants and support LGBTQIA+ trainees. Since the COVID-19 pandemic's shift to virtual recruitment, residency websites have become vital tools for communicating DEI initiatives.

Objective: The aim was to evaluate the sustainability of the pancreatic Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program and the effect of ERAS items on patient morbidity and hospital stay.
Background: The current ERAS guideline recommendations encompass 27 items to improve recovery after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).
Methods: Patients who underwent pancreatic resection at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf between February 2016 and June 2023 were included.
